In the 9th minute, U22 Vietnam was awarded a free kick from about 22m. Surprisingly, Tan Sinh was the one to take the shot, but the Brunei goalkeeper was able to dive to save his opponent.
The opening goal of U22 Vietnam came right after that minute. From a fairly accurate cross from the right wing, Ha Duc Chinh jumped high to head the ball past goalkeeper Jabidi. In the 23rd minute, from Thanh Thinh's cross from the left wing, Duc Chinh took a moment to knock the ball down before unleashing a left-footed shot that bounced into the far corner, leaving goalkeeper Jabidi standing still and watching.
In the rest of the first half, U22 Vietnam continuously created dangerous situations. Midfielders Thai Quy and Trong Hung were the ones who had the opportunity to score. Most notably, in the 39th minute, Trong Hung escaped to face goalkeeper Jabidi but number 20 could not bring the third goal for U22 Vietnam.

In the first 45 minutes, the ball mostly rolled on Brunei's field but U22 Vietnam did not score any more goals. The score 2-0 temporarily favored Coach Park Hang-seo and his team.
In the second half, Coach Park Hang-seo sent Trong Hoang in to replace Thai Quy. In the 48th minute, from a free kick from his teammate on the right wing, Duc Chinh scored his own hat-trick by jumping high and heading the ball into the far corner, giving goalkeeper Jabidi no chance to block it.
After that, Coach Park continued to make substitutions. Center back Duc Chien replaced Tan Sinh and striker Tien Linh replaced Duc Chinh. The presence of Trong Hoang made the right wing of U22 Vietnam more diverse in attack. In the 60th minute, Trong Hoang made an accurate pass to Trong Hung. Number 20 headed the ball to Viet Hung to finish into the far corner, raising the score to 4-0 for U22 Vietnam.
Not stopping there, this time from a free kick on the left wing, Ha Duc Chinh chose the right position to shoot from close range to increase the gap to 5-0 for U22 Vietnam. If luckier, he would have scored another goal in a face-off with goalkeeper Jabidi in the 70th minute.

In this match, Viet Hung had many chances to score. However, luck was not on the side of the player wearing the number 7 shirt of U22 Vietnam. In the 3 finishing situations that followed, Viet Hung and Thanh Thinh took turns to shoot but the ball hit the crossbar and post of U22 Brunei.
In the 83rd minute, stunned by the stormy attacks of U22 Vietnam, the Brunei goalkeeper had to go into the net to pick up the ball again. This time, Trong Hung confidently dribbled past the Brunei defender, before firing a shot from a narrow angle to defeat goalkeeper Jabidi. The score was now 6-0 for Coach Park Hang-seo and his team.
In the remaining minutes, U22 Brunei defended weakly and could not trouble the U22 Vietnam defense as well as goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung.
